*Ø* Blogmanac September 3, 1915 | Aussie Wobbly arrested

Australia: Tom Barker, a Wobbly (member of the IWW, or Industrial Workers of the World, a radical labour organisation) was arrested for his anti-war poster,

“Workers, follow your masters: stay at home".

Anti-recruiting efforts finally got him 12 months hard labour. He was released after only 3 months, following a series of fires in stores and factories.

The slogan:

"For every day Barker is in jail,
it will cost the capitalists £10,000".
